Episode Transcript

(00:00):
All right, Jizo, you aremy Twitter news verifier because I've been known

(00:04):
in the past to read something onTwitter and believe it and then tweet it
and then you telling me reposting fakenews is what you were doing when you
tell me, uh no, thatactually is not true, Like, okay,
my bad, I better check mysources. So I've learned my lesson.
That was a that was a whileago, and I'm going to you
now because I need a verification becauseI just saw this on Twitter. I

(00:28):
have a feeling. I think Iknow what you're talking about. Okay,
dang, it might be real.So, um, the Hauseium is that
was called the House the Star Warshotel. Yeah, the Galactic star Cruiser
is. I saw that's gonna closeit. It's gonna close down in September.
Is this true? It is true. Yes, I've been seeing this
everywhere too, and I've checked multiplesites and multiple resources and yeah, it's

(00:50):
like official, the star Cruiser that'sonly been around what will that be two
years? Gee? I thought itwas only a year. A year maybe,
but before we can inue for peoplelistening that are not familiar with the
what is it the Galactic Cruiser?Yeah, the Star Cruise in Disney World.
Give him a short explanation of whatthis was. Yeah, so this
was a hotel in Disney World,but it was sold as like a cruise

(01:14):
if you will, yea cruisin,like if you were on a cruise,
but in space. So you wouldgo to this hotel and you would stay
there the whole time, and theymade you feel like you were on a
cruise in space, and you know, you would look out the windows and
you would see space. And theyhad this whole theme going out throughout the
whole hotel and they'd have you know, everybody was in character and there was
like a storyline they went with it. You would be there for two days

(01:37):
and you would stay in these littlelike cabins that looked really you know like
Star war Zee if you will,and you would eat like have dinner and
a show like how they do oncruises. And uh, I thought they
was cool, but not for whatthey were charging it. And that was
the biggest complaint is how expensive itwas. Before we get to that,
let's get back to what you justsaid. When we when this thing came
out, we were like, damn, this is cool to even because we

(02:00):
saw on YouTube um influencers got toexperience it. So they were filming to
even just entering this hotel where theyalready start the show. Meaning the minute
you get into this elevator and itmakes it look like you're it's an elevator
to space, like you're being launchedinto space. It's crazy, and then
boom, you're you're in a youknow, spaceship. Like you said the

(02:23):
windows is you're looking into space space. It's so when we saw this,
yeah, we were like, yo, this thing is next level. Yeah,
it looked really cool. Uh,you have to be there for at
least two days because that's like theexperience. You don't you don't go outside
or anything because that's like defeats thepurpose of like the magic thing you can
do is you can get shuttled,you know to uh Galaxy's Edge. Yeah

(02:46):
ran far. Yeah, so youcan only go to Galaxy's Edge. Show
you'd get that too, and thenthey would show to you back to the
hotel and that's the only thing youcould do. So, I don't know,
there was like some things that peopledidn't like about it, but I
think overall it was just the price. It was just really expensive. Can
you like speak on how much,Like didn't you like do some research on
it. I mean just for liketwo people, it was gonna be like
a few thousand dollars. It's alot that Well, when we saw the

(03:09):
price, we were talking about like, who who's gonna go to this?
Yeah? And not everything's free thereeither, Like you still have to buy
stuff there. It's not like,oh, you can eat whenever you want,
Like, nah, you still outto pay for it. If you
have a family before, that's gonnabe like fifty grand No, I mean
you know something like that. Andyeah, and then they made a situation
where the bigger year group was likethe cheaper it would be. But I

(03:29):
don't know. That was the mainthing that we kept talking about was damn,
this is expensive as fuck. SoI guess the reason why I'm bringing
this up right now is it's closingclosing in September. Are you going?
I'm not going? Because they there'sI mean, the biggest thing is they
needed to drop their price or dosomething. I know I've been seeing emails

(03:49):
because I have like a Disney visathat like, oh, you get like
a certain percentage off, and I'mjust like, nah, you're not gonna
get me. I think what theydid. I think they thought they had
something that was just gonna be amoneymaker, because you know, Star Wars
is like that's a money maker,and they thought they could just put out
anything and charge whatever and people wouldgo. And I mean, it's shutting
down pretty quick, pretty quick.Um okay, So that was my main

(04:12):
thing to see if you're gonna go, if you were gonna decide, you
know what, I better go beforeit shuts down. Funny. I just
got a text literally right now asking, yo, it is the Star Wars
hotel you shut down? Like I'mlike the person confirming it. Yeah,
I'm not gonna make that move.Funny enough. I actually just watched a
video last night because they recently sentsome more influencers out there. Yeah that
I've been seeing that. Yeah,they were out there for like May fourth,

(04:33):
and they did some cool things thatI hain't seen before. But again,
like it just nah, do youI saw. I recently saw what's
the word resubmerged. That's not theword I'm looking for, but resurgence of
influencers going back like hey we're back, and I'm I was thinking, oh,
man, are they doing this totry to get more pub exactly what

(04:55):
they were doing. Um, youknow, because there's a certain guy that
I watched him tracker. He waslike he was almost trying to sell it
yea, and it made me thinkthey're probably paying him. I can see
that, like you obviously you getto stay here for free, but he
was like he was almost doing itlike an ad. Yeah yeah, but
who No, I'm just obviously justguessing. But okay, that's interesting.

(05:15):
Um that that you're you decided notto make. I wouldn't mind like a
Star Wars themed hotel, but justlike a hotel. Yeah. I think
they were thinking a little too hardwhen they wanted to do like, oh,
we're pretending you're on like a cruisein space. No. I think
if it's just a Star Wars themedhotel that you can stay, leave and
go at any time to go tothe parks, I think that would be
cool. Also, we got toshout them out for trying something new that's

(05:39):
never been done before, So itshouts out to that, what do you
think they do with the space tokind of wrap up this part of the
pod? You know what, Idon't know. I don't know what it
used to be before. I wasn'tfamiliar. If this is something they broke
ground on or they had just rebuiltoff of something else, my guess is
they'll probably just turn it into roomsor something or what if it goes to

(05:59):
that thing that you just said,they should just turn it into a hotel.
Yeah, so no, no needsfor the actors because that'll lesson the
money. Yeah, um, noneed for the storyline. It's a hotel
Star Wars and maybe just like theworkers that worked there could be in character.
But yeah, it didn't have tobe like a whole storyline. Yeah,
because they were paying. Those areactors you know that worked the whole
weekend or whatever. But yeah,it'll be interesting. But okay, so

(06:21):
it's verified that it's going all right, it's verified that it's shutting down.
All this could give me fire podcasts. I'm just so that is John Magic
and we are back. Sometimes wefind topics in different areas. And you

(06:45):
found something on social media. Yeah, the seven Friends theory. Yeah I
heard this. I've never heard aboutthis, and then you brought it up
to me. You showed it tome and I said, oh, this
is an episode. So this isa trending on TikTok right now. The
seven seven friends theory, it's it'smore for women. I guess a lot

(07:06):
of women were talking about this,but reading and reading this, I feel
like it kind of correlates with menand women. Let me just read this
part for you. The idea isthat we should have seven close friends,
and that each of these friends willfills a different role in our lives.
These are the seven friends we shouldhave, and uh, want me lists
all seven of the type of friendsyou should have? Yeah, I mean

(07:29):
once you say like one thing,then maybe we could go into like if
we have those. Yeah, I'minterested to see if I have like each
of these friends. Yeah. Um, so so this will be interesting and
and you're right. I know yousaid it's more for women, but um
maybe guys should have these these sevenfriends of the types of friends. Yeah,

(07:53):
so let's just go down this listreal quick. One friend that you
should have a friend you've known sincechildhood and have been through it all with,
so off top, I don't Idon't know of any childhood friends that
I still keep in touch with tothis day. And I know there's gonna
be some people listening saying nope,I do. So the closest thing I

(08:16):
have to that is growing up.I've brought up this on the podcast before.
I grew up with my cousins,a lot of cousins, And there
was even a point in our liveswhen we were maybe five, six seven
years old where we lived in theall under one roof and we went to
elementary school together. And these werecousins that were basically the same age as

(08:37):
me, and that's who I consideredfriends growing up. And I don't know
if that counts, but that's closeto this first one, friends that you've
known since childhood and you go withyou can still you are still close to
this day. It's would be mycousins, Okay, yeah, I mean

(08:58):
I don't see anything wrong with that. Or even if you had siblings and
you consider them like a best friendand you may not have somebody in one
of these categories, or you mayhave one person that can fit in multiple
categories. Well, what is thistheory saying though you should have friends like
this, have like a good life, Like, what's what's the point of
I mean, yeah, I meanit says that we should have seven close

(09:18):
friends and each one of these friendscan fall into one of these categories.
Essentially. I mean, I don'tknow who like made this up, but
I mean it's it kind of makessense, see what I'm saying. Um,
I would say that I would havea childhood friend that I grew up
with, Like how when we firstmet. Yeah, man, we had
to be like an elementary school,so I guess that counts right. We

(09:39):
met each other through soccer. Igrew up playing soccer and we were on
like different teams because we had wentto different schools. But we became close
over the years through like All Starsand being competitive soccer playing on the same
team. And then we eventually wentto the same middle school in same high
school, and to this day we'relike best friends. Um so crazy.
Yeah, so I would probably saythat's that's I would have one like that.

(10:01):
When's the last time you talk tothis person? So we have like
an understanding in our our friendship,meaning we don't hang out that often.
Our lives kind of are different forsure, Um, but we make it
a thing to see each other onour birthdays and maybe one or two times
sprinkled out through the year. Sowe actually don't see each other that much
or even talk that much, butwe just go back so far and have

(10:22):
shared so much together that that whenwe do pick when we do talk,
we kind of pick up actually oneof those they are on the list where
we kind of just pick up wherewe left off. Yeah, I trying
to think I'm trying to go backthat far too elementary kindergarten. No,
I don't. I don't have anyfriends to just you know that I still
keep in touch with during those days. Yeah, there's a name in my

(10:46):
head. I remember my best friendin second or third grade. His name
was Eloy. Okay, Eloy whenit was that his last name, but
Eloy was like my bff when yeah, I was in second third grade.
Wow, But you know this listenlist says that someone still keep in touch
with to this day. I don't. I have no idea where Eloy is

(11:09):
at. Yeah, I mean alot of this is like effort, you
know what I'm saying. Some ofits luck, like staying in the same
city obviously, yea from where youlive. Me and me and this guy
particularly live still living Fresno together,So you know that helps. Um,
our parents knew each other and wegrew up playing soccer together and in school
together. So like all that helpstoo. You know more, this is
more for curiosity, this friend thatyou still you know, have a connection

(11:33):
with through all these years. Um, you've seen his life right now?
Are you like, damn, thisis this is crazy? How that's this
is your life? Or is itsomething where like damn, this is kind
of like where I see you wouldend up? Um, yes, and
no, I would say no becauseit wasn't something that he thought he would

(11:54):
be doing. He thought he'd bemore into like something in the sports field,
but he's he's actually like a seller. But it also makes sense too
because he's like a really good talkerand he's really like personable and stuff like
that, so it also makes sense. And what he does is he's really
successful and stuff like that. SoI'm like really happy for him. I
wonder if he thinks the same ofyou, meaning like, oh, hell,

(12:15):
who knew you were gonna be aradio? That's what everybody says.
Everybody that knew me, like inschool and even before this, they're like,
that doesn't make sense because as meand you talk about word like introverts
and quiet and stuff like that.So all right, what's next? Time?
A friend who makes you laugh?Even when Tom's get tough. I
have a few of these and thesefriends are as of late, and you

(12:35):
know them because it's our circle offriends. Of these these DJs that we've
hung out with that I met herein Fresno, um, you know,
shouts out to the t Z guys. I would put them in this category
as those kind of friends because everytime I hang out with these guys,
talk to these guys, it's nevernow that I think about it, we

(12:56):
never have serious conversations. You knowwhat I will, I will take you
up on that one, and Iwould agree the group of friends that we
hang out with, it's always onsome good shit. Yeah, Like we
go out for dinner with each other, we go on vacation together, and
it's it's always positive. It's neverdrama or we kind of just leave that
shit at the door, you knowwhat I'm saying. Yes, So it's

(13:16):
always laughs with these groups or guys. So that would be that group for
a number two for me, allright, So number three a friend that
you should have. A friend youmay not talk to for a while but
can't pick right back up. Actually, let me read that again. A
friend you may not talk to fora while but can't pick right back up
with as no, oh my god, who wrote this as if no time

(13:37):
has passed? Okay, man,I had a friend like that. He
was my best friend through my twentiesthirties. The only reason why I don't
know if he's in this category nowis because we kind of his life went
on a different path, yea,where it doesn't it's a it's a different

(14:03):
path that I'm not going so yeah. So it's it's almost those things where
I can't now I can't relate toyou, yea, So we've lost touch
that way. But the only reasonwhy he's the first person I think of
because this is what we used tosay to each other. Yea. When
I moved to Fresno and he stayedin la Um, you know, we

(14:26):
did that classic thing where we kindof stopped talking every day, but when
we saw each other once a month, we picked up like no time has
passed, like Number three says,So he would be in this category,
but as of late, we stoppedtalking, Like I haven't talked to him
for years, just because, likeI said, his life path it just

(14:48):
went on a whole different direction thatI'm not down with. So um,
yeah, that he would be inthis category. But it's weird that we
don't talk anymore. Um. Imean, just like I had previously said
when we were talking about the firstone, that heat, my friend would
also my best friend would also fallinto this category because even though we're best
friends and childhood friends, we don'tsee each other and communicate with each other

(15:09):
that much. But when we do, it's like we're kids again. I
mean we laugh at the same stuff. We have our inside jokes that are
the same. So uh yeah,that's always good. Yeah. Number four
a friend you can say absolutely anythingtoo without judgment that. This is an
easy one. It's you. You'reyou're this friend right here. Well,

(15:30):
I think that that could go bothways because you know, as we always
talk about on this podcast, theconversations that we have off the podcasts are
just like really deep and a lotof times sparked these podcast episodes. But
yeah, man, especially the lastfew years, I think the beginning of
the pandemic is where we really gotclose. Yeah, because we all we
had time was to talk to eachother. Yeah, we really talked about

(15:52):
I mean a lot of stuff,relationship stuff, your weight loss journey as
of recently, and just anything andeverything. If we need events like yeah,
I'm calling you or you're calling me. I mean you even gave me
like career advice when I've asked forit in the past. So yeah,
I can mark you in this fatikalwhere you're right here. I just I
just like how you know this saysa friend you could You could say absolutely

(16:14):
anything too, without judgment, becausesometimes that's how I start my sentence with
you. I go, hey,Jess, I got something to tell you,
but like, don't judge me.Please don't judge me. But you
know you can tell me because I'mnot going to. But yeah, all
right, I like that. It'salways a good friend to have. Number
five, a friend who feels likea brother or sister. With Filipinos,
this is almost an automatic thing everyone. If you're like friends with other Filipinos,

(16:40):
we all feel like we're cousins orwe're brothers and sisters. Um.
Side note, I've I've said thisbefore in a podcast a pet peeve.
It was our Pet Peeves podcast episode. One of my pet peeves is when
I was younger and the girls Ihad crush crushes on the Filipino word for
brothers quia. Okay, So whengirls would call girls always called me kuya

(17:03):
in high school. That's basically whatit is. You get friends zone,
and that was my pet peeve.But I will say one particular girl who
in high school I did have acrush on, but nothing ever came out
of it. Um to this day. M from high school to to today.

(17:25):
Um, we're in our forties.She is one of my best female
friends. Uh that I considered hersister. She would get put in this
category. But I will say this, we've we've said off the podcast and
maybe on an episode, Um,can we have that topic? Can guys
and can females and females be friends? Can they actually be friends? And

(17:48):
most of the times we say no, no, yeah, because there's always
a guy's always going to have intentions. Yeah. Um, even though um,
I did have a crush on ourwe were kids, I mean now
there isn't one. You know,she's married with children and I really see
her as a family member. Soyeah, she goes in this category for

(18:11):
me. Okay, do you haveone of these? Um? You know
as I'm an only child, soUM, I think I was always somebody
that Connie always wanted that in away, that brother, that that sister
type fill in. Um, Imean, I'll go with what you said.
I'll just go for the female side. And just because you know,
some listeners may know her, andI've known it for a long time.

(18:33):
So, but Carmen and one ofour coworkers, Um, she was somebody
that I would always I could goto if I needed to talk to like
a woman or see a woman's perspective. Um, and me and her started
in this in this industry together.So I've always saw Carmen as like a
sister figure to me. Um,and it's never been anything more than that.
So h, I'll probably have tosay her all right. Nice.
Number six A friend you can't imaginenot being in your life. I have

(18:59):
one of those. I mean,as of late, probably I have one
right now that I'm becoming it's anew friend. But I would put her
in this category because we've gotten toknow each other for a few months now
and just reading this, I wouldput her in this category someone that I
can't imagine not being in my life. Yeah. Um, so she knows

(19:21):
who she is and yeah, soI have one of those. Yeah,
yeah, I mean I feel likeI have like a few of those.
It's just kind of weird to justyou know, one friend that I can't
imagine in my life. I mean, like, I think it goes without
being said, like our circle offriends. You so, but I just
kind of wanted to get specific withthis one. Okay, but yeah,
I agree with you. This couldbe all really all your friends. All

(19:44):
right, let's let's go to seven. A friend who listens to your relationship
problems even if they're sick of hearingabout it. I mean there is there's
two. You would be in thiscategory. Uh. And then my best
friend and my business partner in Rishi, he would probably be in this category
too, just because him and Iboth have been through it, yeah,
relationship wise, and he was mygo to BFF for these topics in the

(20:10):
past. And then obviously he livesback home. And then it became you
because you're like more here, yeahnext to me. So other than that,
No, I won't talk to relationshipstuff to anyone else. Do you
feel like talking about relationships relationship stuffsometimes it's a burden to people. Well,
I mean, he says here,even if they're sick of hearing it

(20:30):
about it. See, I'm someonelike for you specifically, like when we've
talked about things. I never gotsick of hearing about it. If I
got sick of hearing about it,I would say something. And I think
the things that I would say isprobably stuff that you wouldn't want to hear,
you know what I'm saying. SoI would probably say that to somebody
if I was sick getting tired ofhearing it, I would probably tell them

(20:51):
something they don't want to hear,like, yeah, I'm sick of time
to hear this, because you needto just stop being with this person.
Like that would be my advice.So no, I mean, I mean
I like to hear people out I'msaying, especially us having our conversations.
For me though, on the flipside, I just never been one to
talk about relationship problems. Yeah that'strue, And you would know that because
I would probably talk to you aboutit. I don't talk about it at

(21:15):
all. Maybe when you were younger, if I remember correctly, I was
a little bit more emo younger.Yeah, um, and I think I
would probably like vent and say thingsthen, but yeah, I'm more I
keep more of that stuff to myselfthese days. Is that a wait?
Do you see that as a doesit? Does it fit your life?

(21:36):
Where it doesn't stress you out keepingit in, or do you have someone
you talk to you just no,I don't. Yeah, I don't.
I don't think you do. Ithink when it comes to relationships, that's
one area of my life that Ijust kind of keep it in. I
don't know. I don't. Idon't know if that's good or bad fair
enough. I don't like, Idon't feel like it's bad. It's not
like it's yeah yeah me in thepast or something where I was like,

(21:59):
oh man, I should have tosomebody about that. But like, no,
I've kind of always handled relationships onmy own. I mean maybe here
and there I'll bring up things,but as far as like needing advice or
what should I do or let mevent about this person, I've really never
been one to be like that.I don't know. I was just about,
well, I answered my question.I was about to ask if you
ever have those, you know,drama stressful moments, like how do you

(22:22):
release it? But you just saidright now that you don't. Yeah,
I don't release it. That's interesting. Yeah, So those are the seven.
I mean, like we said before, you may have somebody in each
one of these categories. I know, we kind of broke it down,
or you may have one person thatfits in multiple categories. But I mean,
for the most part, we havefriends that at least, you know,
fulfill these areas and even more thatis true. I was gonna say,

(22:45):
if there's I even have more friendsthat's not on this list, kind
of that fits more my life.Yeah. Yeah, but like, for
example, I have friends that Icould only talk sports too. Yeah,
there's there's some friends that I thatI brought up in the list of seven
that I cannot talk sports too becausethey are not sports fanatics. So that's

(23:06):
why I have those friends. Andare these like Laker friends or just sports
in general? Okay, and alot of it happens on Twitter, but
they're like my friends from back home, and that's kind of like all we
talk about is sports. We don'ttalk about anything else but sports. Yeah.
I have actually have this group messageor a group chat that's been going
on for man, I want tosay, like ten years now, maybe

(23:27):
I don't know. And I gotto shout him out, David Hugo and
my boy GERB and we've been inthis group chat for like I said,
like ten years, and we're allcowboys fans. So it's just when the
season comes around. During the games, I mean, we're just going at
it. And as you know footballis, it's a really year round sport
with like the draft and you know, the off season, so we always

(23:48):
have something to talk about when itcomes to like the Cowboys, and you
know we talk about other stuff inthere too. But yeah, I do
have that group of like Cowboys fansthat I talk to all the time.
Um. Another one that this one. I don't have this anymore because she
moved away. But it was aformer co worker who ended up being one
of my good friends. Her name'sHaley, but she was like my foodie

(24:11):
friend, okay, and we evenwe even said, you know, back
in the days, we used tosay that we were like, oh,
we're bff's, like best foodie friendslike that, because we would like go
to different restaurants and try different foods. But um, I mean she's still
a friend of mine, but shemoved away, and um, so we
hardly get to do the foodie stuffanymore. But I miss having foodie friends.

(24:32):
That's funny. Um yoh, yeah, go ahead. I have.
This is kind of more recently,but I have like a good group of
like Star Wars friends now, whichis which has been cool. And oddly
enough, they actually everybody like livesin different cities, so I got friends,
you know, like in La NewYork, Arizona. We all kind
of like came together recently, uhfor Star Wars Night at Disneyland, So

(24:52):
that was like a lot of funand just meeting new friends. Like at
the convention that I was last year, I got to meet your cousin because
he's a maybe maybe you can addhim to my group? That is true.
Um, So that's been like acool group of friends that that I
talk to that I don't necessarily seein person, but like we talk on
social media a lot, and wekind of like holp each other out with
some things like you know, ifyou know I have something out here that

(25:15):
I can get them, or ifthey got something in their city that you
know, they can help me with. So that's that's been cool. That's
been a cool new group of friendsthat that I've gotten close to. I
was about to ask, like howyou like, what's the communication like,
and you just said, it's onsocial media. Social media. It's a
lot of that. It's a lotof supporting each other with like content and
stuff like that and having ideas.So that's that's been really cool. Um.

(25:37):
Another I mean my last one onmy list of just friends that I
have specific like specific friends, Ihave club friends where Oh yeah, that's
a good like going out friends,right, Like I only see them at
night parties. Now obviously it's youknow, the industry we're in and I'm
a DJ. So um, theseare guys that I see often but only

(26:03):
at the nightclubs. Yeah yeah,like the regulars at nightclubs, Like,
hey, good seeing you again.That's we never hang out except when we
see each other at nightclubs. SoI have those friends too, So I
like those What about like a coworkerfriends? I mean, man, I
don't want you know what I mean, what would we kind of be in
that cred story. But the reasonwhy I don't know. For me personally,

(26:26):
I don't have a lot of coworkerfriends. I have acquaintances, okay,
but friends wise, who I talkto you and hang out with you
would be the only one. Okay. Yeah that's fair. Yeah, maybe
more so back in the days,but now probably just us or if you
want to count like the teasy guysas like coworker friends too, are industry
friends. I guess kind of couldbe one and the same. But I

(26:48):
mean, sometimes don't they say sometimeslike friends like work friendships. I don't
know, like it's it's maybe that'sjust a guy and a girl. If
it's like a guy and a girlthing, it's not a good idea.
Oh it's yeah, maybe a guyand a girl would not be a good
idea. But another thing for me, it was a rule that I saw
when I became when I was putinto the management role, there was like

(27:10):
this thing I was reading on likehow to be a good manager, You're
not supposed to be friends with people. Yeah, that was like one of
the rules, like don't be don'tbe like bfs with your employees, like
just you got to be friendly,but don't be their friend. Like oh
geez, yeah, that's tough.I have seen stuff on that, But
I mean, how does that workif you were already friends and then you

(27:30):
get put into manager. Yeah.I think that was my situation where they
put me in management, and thatwas super awkward for me. Yeah,
because then you'd have to tell somebodywho you're hanging out with outside of work.
You'd have to tell them what todo, yeah, or reprimand them.
Yeah, yeah, that is tough. That's why I'm kind of glad
I'm not in that role anymore.That's all. Those were my my little

(27:51):
although this one out there just forfunzies. What about friends with benefits?
Have you had that? Yes,I've had that in the past. Okay,
um, nothing as of late,but yeah, when I was younger,
I had a few. I hada couple. Okay, yeah,
your um, no, because Icut things off too fast, like I

(28:12):
can't, like I can't be likean ongoing thing because I just know,
like it's sometimes it could be nota good idea. So I just choose
to be like not really getting involvedwith friendships with those type of people.
Yeah, yeah, so I don't. I would say no, but you
know that's not to say where I'mlike, I just don't ever talk Like
yeah, I'll talk to them andsee them out, but like, hey,

(28:33):
let's keep this friendship and let's alsokeep this going. Like na,
I just never felt like that wasa good idea for for either side.
You know what I'm saying, fairenough? Yeah, I'm actually yeah,
for sure. I mean, onmy end, there was moments like that
where it was like, yo,this is going to a place where I
thought we didn't want to go to. Yeah. So there was those situations.
Um, the ones that I enjoyedare the ones where it was both

(28:57):
both parties thought the same way.Yeah it was mutual. It's a mutual
agreement. Yeah. Yeah, butno I haven't had that had thosen years,
but yes in the past I did. All right, Um, well,
I mean, just just to wrapthings up, you know the seven
friends theory, there was seven ofthese types of friends that they say that
you should have. This is trendingon TikTok right now. Was it was

(29:18):
more that the women were doing it, but we actually correlated it with the
guy side of it. And uhyeah, man. I mean I'll say
this though, if if you reallystill want to continue a friendship with somebody,
you know, as we get older, we get new friends, new
people come to our lives, suite, we you know, we changed addresses
or whatever the case may be.But if you put in an effort,
you could you could still hang onto friends. I've noticed that over the

(29:41):
years. And I've also noticed maybelike letting some friends go that maybe like
how you said your one friend thatyou kind of just went a different life,
and you kind of had to likelet them go a little bit.
You know, sometimes you have tomake that difficult decision, you know,
breaking up with your friends, ifyou will, just to get certain things
out of your life. Or maybethey were holding you bet accurate, and
there's nothing wrong with that either,because I mean, at the end of

(30:03):
the day, you're you're you're you'rea most important person in your life.
So yeah, all right, untilnext time we out
